DIY: Decorated Tealights

Earlier this week, I was fortunate to guest post over at Running with a Glue Gun. I thought today I'd share the DIY I prepared here as well.

 I have these decorated tealights to show you, and they make great last minute gifts, just in time for Christmas. Also the colours and decorations are completely customisable,so you each one can be completely individual!


Equipment:
Tealight candles
Ribbon
Double Sided Tape

Optional:
Decoration such as gems, bows etc.
Glue Gun, Glue Dots or Super Glue (depending on strength and size)



Step 1: Check that your ribbon is not taller than your tealight, as this could potentially be a fire hazard.



Step 2: Attach enough double sided tape for the circumference of the tealight to the wrong side of the ribbon. Trim to a straight edge




Step 3: Take off the backing of the tape, and wrap around the tealight, trimming once all of the sides are covered



Optional: Decorate your tealights further using small embellishments, but keep in mind the potential hazard of lots of loose fabric.

Ta da!
